Creating and editing a share

After the GCF has been installed correctly, you can share documents to make them available to the GCF for collaboration. You must also define shares in the local system for the remote repositories with which the local users will collaborate.

To create or edit a share:

  1. Open Meridian Enterprise Configurator with the vault that will collaborate with GCF.
  2. Expand Environment in the configuration tree and select Vault Settings. The vault’s settings appear in property pages in the right pane.
  3. Click the GCF Configuration tab. The GCF Configuration property page appears.
  4. Click the Edit button in the lower right corner of the window. The page becomes editable.
  5. To delete a share, select it and click Delete.

  6. To edit a share, select it, and click the Edit button. The GCF Share Details dialog box appears.

  7. To create a new share, click New. The GCF Share Details dialog box appears.

  8. Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.
Shared vault options
Option Description

Share type

 Select BC Meridian.

Share name

The name of the share as you want to use it for GCF configuration, for example, PARISPROJECTS.

Remote vault name

The name of the share as you want it to appear to GCF users, for example, ParisProjects.

Web Access address

The URL used to start a Web Access session with the vault, without the /Start parameter at the end. By default, this is http://<ServerName>/Meridian.

To specify that a site is off-line as described in NEW Implementing a star topology, precede the URL with an underscore (_) character, for example, _http://<ServerName>/Meridian.

Note     You may leave this option empty; in that case you will create an offline share. For a description of offline shares, see Understanding offline shares.

User name

The name of a Meridian Enterprise user account with privileges to use Web Access.

Password

The password of the account specified for User Name.

Protocol

Select the protocol that you want the share to use. Multiple transfer protocols can be configured on the same server, each for a different share. For a description of how the GCF uses the HTTP protocol, see Understanding the HTTP protocol.

Address

If for Protocol you selected the FTP or File Copy protocols or if you specified a custom component protocol that uses a transfer folder, type the path to the folder that contains the incoming briefcases.

  1. Click OK to save your changes. If any required fields are not completed, a warning icon will appear next to each field. Complete the empty fields and try again.
  2. In the Local share name list, select the share name that you typed for Share name.
  3. Repeat steps 7 to 9 with corresponding values for each remote share with which the local share will collaborate.
  4. Ensure that the vault is published as a web location in Web Access. For more information, see the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Administrator's Guide.
